These are Sites of Special Scientific Interest on which you can find rare flora and fauna. Brean Down is one of the great landmarks of the Somerset coastline standing over 300ft high, the Down is immersed in intriguing stories, from prehistoric worship to Second World War weapon testing. The surrounding steep slopes and sweeping pastures are renowned for its wildlife, so keep a look out for a great variety of rare birds, plants and butterflies right on the doorstep of Brean Down Farm House. Brean Down Farm was part of the manor of Brean which was presented to Walter de Douai (a Norman Knight) by William I. In 1663 Sir Wadham Wyndham bought part of these lands from the then owner Philip Jackson, and it remained in the possession of the Wyndham family into the 20th Century. Brean Down Farm is a truly unique piece of Somerset and a ‘once in a life time exquisite opportunity’. Formerly used as two dwellings, the extensive and most flexible accommodation may suit a variety of uses subject to planning permission and building regulations approval. In need of renovation this property is a spectacular opportunity to create your own paradise.
